Chat Cheating?

My fiance' and I have been togeather for almost 6 years. We laugh, we play, and we get eachother. He is truly my best friend. We have our tiffs now and then, but we always work it out. Though in every OTHER way he is very good to me, I have come to realize that whenever I'm not home he spends time chatting with other women online, or having cybersex. He even has a webcam, which I have now hidden from him...I've NEVER SEEN him use it, but I know why he has it. I have confronted him, and explained to him that this hurts me. I told him when we first started discussing marriage, that I would never be ok with it. He tells me that it's all "Just chat" and not of the sexual nature. That's completely bogus. I guess what I really want to know is if this is a serious enough issue to consider it cheating, and what more can I do to put a stop to it without attacking him? I want to handle this as harmoniously as possible. I'm also curious if I'm wrong to spy? I don't want to invade his privacy, but I can't trust him to tell the truth about this. I KNOW he loves me, and he would be devastated if I ever left him. I just don't know what to do..HELP PLEASE!!!

I think this is more common than most people think. I'm not sure why he's doing this. Boredom perhaps? I think you should have another talk with him and find out why he likes doing this. Ask him to be honest and upfront. Tell him again how this behavior makes you feel. While I don't really consider this cheating the act of him doing that is hurtful and is having a negative effect on your relationship.

If it is out of boredom, maybe getting out and doing things with friends instead of interacting on the computer would be better for him. Or investing in a new hobby he can be proud of.

If it is because he is feeling that the spark between you and him has dimmed and he uses that as a way to connect to others then maybe re-evaluating the relationship and figuring out what you can do to bring the spark and chemistry back. I have been with the same guy for almost 6 years and I know that at times things can get very routine. So you have to work to keep from getting in a relationship rut. Usually people go outside the relationship because they aren't getting something that they need. Ask him to express what it is he needs. More intimate time? Maybe he wants you to fullfil more of his desires. Maybe he thinks your sex life has gotten a bit routine and boring. All of these things are fixable if you are both willing to fix them.

If he is willing to stop this behavior for you then maybe you can do something for him in return. Hope it works out for you, relationships are always a work in progress.
